July 26, 2018 marks the 28th anniversary of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act, landmark legislation protecting the rights of people with disabilities of all ages. Please join us in celebrating this historic milestone:
- Presidential Proclamation: "Our Nation must continue to build upon this foundation and continue to further the participation of the more than 56 million Americans living with disabilities. My Administration continues to encourage research that will lead to advancements in technology, medicine, and other fields and better enable independent living. We are also expanding and promoting equal education and employment opportunities for Americans with disabilities to live and work. "
